About Bishopstone

Bishopstone finds its quiet place in the Canterbury district of Kent. It lies 3.0 km east of Herne Bay (from Herne Bay: bearing 91°T, OS grid TR 206 682), and is situated north-east of Broomfield village. The land here slopes gently towards the coast, and on a clear day, the distant glint of the sea might be glimpsed on the horizon, a pale promise of the wider world. A scattering of houses, some of them old stone cottages with roofs softened by lichen, huddle around a modest green where the grass grows thick and the air often carries the scent of damp earth. The lanes that weave through Bishopstone are narrow, bordered by hedgerows that in spring are a riot of hawthorn blossom, their white confetti catching the light. The quietude of this place is its own kind of wealth, a deep stillness broken only by the calls of birds and the distant hum of traffic from the main road, a reminder of the world beyond.
